    Reader note

    This is a historical romance novel featuring two strong, virginal female protagonists. Initially, the female lead disguises herself as a man, ruling over five major empires in the Central Plains and thirty-six tribes beyond, wielding considerable influence in the martial arts world. The female lead is cunning, deep, obsessive, hypocritical, and cold-hearted, ambitious, unconventional, and a typical egoist with a strong possessive and controlling nature. She possesses multiple identities and is one of the top martial arts masters, ruling over a sect and a palace, her power resounding throughout the martial arts world. She has a dual personality: one cold and rational, calculating, low-key, reserved, noble, elegant, and aloof; the other capricious, arrogant, willful, and possessing a cold, alluring, and wicked charm. The male lead is a cunning and manipulative character, ruthless, flexible, and always dressed in red, alluring and stunning. He controls countless poisons and is willing to transform himself into a poison master, a true femme fatale. Towards the female lead, he is affectionate, clingy, and obedient, often pleading for her love with tears in his eyes—a clear-headed romantic. Towards outsiders, he is ruthless, cold-blooded, vicious, and extremely jealous, with a narcissistic streak.
